"Kazuki Yamamoto's secret service team has appeared three kilometers southeast of Ping'an County?"

Li Yunlong was surprised when he heard this, Yamamoto Kazuki actually appeared near the southeast of Ping'an County at this time, this is to sneak attack Ping'an County?

"Yes, Captain."

The communication soldier nodded, and immediately reported: "This is a telegram from the political commissar!" ”。

Li Yunlong bowed his head, took the telegram from the hand of the signal soldier, and immediately opened it and read it carefully.

After reading it, he handed it to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion on the side.

"Commander, I almost forgot about this devil!"

Wang Huaibao said.

"Looking at the call from the political commissar, the Yamamoto special team is already hiding in the mountains and forests three kilometers southeast of Ping'an County."

Li Yunlong was also a little scared and said: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu asked the political commissar to be in Ping'an County, and a secret sentry of the outer cordon was installed for several kilometers around Liujia Town to lurk. ”。

"I didn't expect it, but there was really a surprise."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, nodded, and then said: "The political commissar called to say that our secret post was not discovered by the Yamamoto special team. ”。

"But the Yamamoto special forces are obviously going to raid Ping'an County, or Liujia Town!"

"The raid carried out by a small group of devil agents may pose a threat to Liujia Town and Ping'an County."

Li Yunlong bowed his head, and then said to the communication soldier who reported the situation: "Call back to the political commissar and ask him to organize forces to see if he can set up an ambush and kill Yamamoto Kazuki's special team." ”。

"Looking at the number of devil special forces discovered, it should be personally commanded by Kazuki Yamamoto! Let the commissar report to me at any time once the ambush is successful, or whatever else happens! ”

When the signal soldier who reported the situation heard this, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes, regiment commander!" ”。

Then, the communication soldier turned around and left to call Zhao Gang back.

Waiting for the communication soldiers to walk back to the communication room, Wang Huaibao said in a condensed voice: "Regiment commander, do you want to transfer Duan Peng's Snow Leopard special combat team back to the political commissar?" ”。

"Not yet!!"

Li Yunlong shook his head when he heard this: "What's more, it's too late now, plus the second battalion is stationed in Liujia Town, and the fourth battalion has already been transferred south to Ping'an County." ”。

"In the north, there are more than 4,000 soldiers stationed in the second and fourth battalions of Ping'an County and Liujia Town, and it is unlikely that the devil special team will easily raid during the day, otherwise, they will only be able to find their own death."

"What's more, I have called back to ask the political commissar to organize troops to set up an ambush and encircle and annihilate him, even if he can't eat the last remnant of Yamamoto's special team, but he can still beat the special team commanded by Yamamoto Kazuki away."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "Maybe before we defeated the 9th Brigade and other units of the devil commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong, the political commissar commanded the troops to kill the rest of Yamamoto Kazuki's special team. ”。

"Yes, Captain."

After thinking about it, Wang Huaibao agreed.

"The situation of Yamamoto's special team, just let the political commissar handle it!"

Li Yunlong said: "Now, it is already past half past nine in the morning, and it stands to reason that Nakamura Zhenxiong is about to start." ”。

"Regiment Commander, in my opinion, we should be ready to retreat to the front line after the destruction of Qingzhou City!"

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, reminded.

"Hmm!!"

Li Yunlong nodded.

Shinozuka Yoshinan transferred two 105 howitzer squads to Nakamura Zhenxiong, each assigned to be deployed in two directions.

Even if a howitzer squad only has two 105 howitzers, but long-range artillery suppression is still very threatening for the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong was not worried about the direction of Liujiazhen, after all, the reinforced concrete pillbox fortifications built at the entrance of the town east of Liujiazhen, according to Zhao Gang's previous statement, would definitely be able to withstand the vertical hit of the two or three hundred mm large-caliber heavy artillery and the heavy aerial bombs dropped by the devil's bombers.

In this way, what Li Yunlong is worried about now is that the devils will use the artillery of the howitzer squad to carry out a long-range artillery attack in the direction of the city wall of Qingzhou City.

Most of the artillery of the Independent Regiment in Qingzhou City was captured Devil 92 infantry guns and a few stand-up guns.

The range can't hit the devil's 105 howitzer at all, so it's a bit passive.

In addition, if the devils concentrate their forces and start besieging one of them, under the cover of howitzer fire, it is very likely that the city will be breached.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to prepare in advance for the retreat to the first line.

"You command the three battalions and all the units, and be prepared to retreat to the front line at any time once one of them breaks through the city and is broken by the devils."

Li Yunlong thought for a while, and then said to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, in a condensed voice: "I sent a telegram to Zhang Dabiao to send a battalion to respond a few miles outside the north gate of Qingzhou!" ”。

"Understood, Captain!!"

Wang Huaibao nodded solemnly.

"Good!!"

Li Yunlong bowed, looked at the map and said, "Now let's see when Nakamura Zhenxiong will come to the city again!" ”。

At this time, Nakamura Zhenxiong, whom Li Yunlong was talking about, was in a command tent in the camp temporarily set up one kilometer east of the east gate of Qingzhou City, and waited for the news that a 105 howitzer squad transferred to him by Shinozuka Yoshinan was about to arrive at the camp of the army.

"Yo Xi! Yo West! ”

When Nakamura Zhenxiong heard the news in the military tent of the headquarters, he couldn't help but nod his head, and said to the devil soldiers who came in to report the situation: "Pass my order, send a squad of soldiers to pick up the howitzer squad." ”。

"In addition, order the commander of this howitzer squad that rushed to set up his 105 howitzer position four kilometers east of the east gate of Qingzhou City! Let the communications squadron send someone to pull the telephone line to the howitzer squad, so that the command can directly contact the howitzer position. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The devil soldiers walked out of the military tent of the headquarters in response.

After the devil went out, Chief of Staff Kita Taijiro, who was standing next to Zhenxiong Nakamura, said with a smile: "Division commander, it seems that with these two 105 howitzers, it will definitely be good for breaking through Qingzhou City." ”。

"Definitely!!"

Nakamura Zhenxiong nodded and said with a smile: "The 105 howitzer is already comparable to the existence of heavy artillery for the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”。

"It shouldn't be a problem to concentrate these two howitzers and smash the city wall of the east gate of Qingzhou City. What's more, these two 105 howitzers have a range of up to 10 kilometers, which is enough to strike at the enemy troops on the long-range periphery, while the artillery of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is almost impossible to destroy our howitzers. ”

Kita Taijiro nodded, then pointed to a map placed on the small table of the military tent headquarters, and said in a condensed voice: "Division commander, now we still have more than 6,700 imperial soldiers in our hands, and we still have an advantage in strength against the enemy troops guarding Qingzhou City. ”。

"But if the division commander retreats before thinking about counterattacking and besieging Qingzhou City on all sides, our forces may be a little scattered."

Nakamura Zhenxiong nodded and said: "What does Namu Duojun mean, or to maintain the previous siege posture, feint on three sides, concentrate the main forces, and attack the east gate with the cooperation of howitzers and the fighters of the Imperial Army Aviation Unit that are about to fly?" ”。

"That's right, division commander."

Kido Taijiro bowed his head and said: "The aviation unit that the commander has deployed to us this time has 20 Type 96 land attack aircraft, and the aerial firepower is extremely powerful!" ”。

"In this way, we still concentrated our main forces, and under the firepower of howitzers, heavy artillery fire, and aerial bombardment, we broke through the city from the east gate in one fell swoop, entered the city, and captured Li Yunlong alive."
